re: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) ***W.H.O. DECLARES A GLOBAL PANDEMIC***

There was some discussion on here about a week ago about Vitamin D's role in the immune system and preventing respiratory infections. Former CDC director Dr. Frieden wrote a piece about it today.
quote:
Vitamin D supplementation reduces the risk of respiratory infection, regulates cytokine production and can limit the risk of other viruses such as influenza. A respiratory infection can result in cytokine storms – a vicious cycle in which our inflammatory cells damage organs throughout the body – which increase mortality for those with COVID-19. Adequate Vitamin D may potentially provide some modest protection for vulnerable populations.

Just told my wife she needs more D. She didn't find it very helpful.

Do you follow the market?
The single biggest bounce in DOW history was 3/13/20. You realize that?

As crazy as it sounds, for Itay that is good news, both of those numbers are lower than yesterday, and that's now 3 straight days of decline
Correct, another decline with today's numbers.
Hopefully, this is the beginning of the end for Italy. So terrible.

Typically, yes.
Although this recession is very different than anything we've ever seen in terms of cause.

When do you predict the demand for toilet paper will rebound?
It may take years with the way everyone has been hoarding a years worth
You act like companies and grocery stores haven't been getting paid for the hoarding of the toilet paper?
Yea it creates a bumpy supply chain but when you're selling something at 200% clip, you figure it out. As will all companies out there including the one I work for.
Just like you're telling people to chill TF out on the virus, you need to chill TF out on the economic ensuing blackout.

Do you? This happened right after the largest plunge since black Monday, which came after several days of decline.
You're acting like that one spike has corrected the market. It hasn't. Not even close actually.

Hopefully that trend continues in Italy because that's pretty good news.
Italy shut down on 3/9.. 14 days ago. With the way Covid works you won't really see impacts for two weeks. Looks like they peaked right at 12-13 days. This is pretty good news for the 15 day plan.

Completely false.
These are rolling shutdowns.
Each state will take its turn shutting down everything.
This is absurd.
I work for a fortune 100 and we have 50 plants around the US.
All running.
You're just grasping onto the ones you've seen in the media while simultaneously bashing everyone here for media hysteria.

As a financial advisor and CFP®, the financial/investment perspectives from some of the folks in this thread are pretty astounding.
Don't try to overcomplicate things. Invest in a diversified and appropriate strategy with a long-term perspective. If you can help it, don't watch CNBC and don't look at your account(s) every day. If you can invest more money now, do it.
The market will rebound eventually. When will it hit the bottom? No one knows. How quickly will it rebound? Probably very quickly initially with a slow slog back to where we were in January, but again, no one really knows.
Investors that focus on intraday or daily activity are living their worst nightmare right now. Investors who invest in a long-term strategy can sit back and (try to) relax or simply put more money in the market.
Just FYI, a 60/40 Stock/Bond mix earned around 76% (cumulatively) the five years following the 1987 stock market crash. 51% the five years following the Dot-Com crash. 47% the five years following September 2008.
Obviously, historical performance is not a guarantee of future performance, but there is promising precedent for patient investors.
Great post.
I'm leaning in HARD into the market at the moment. I just keep buying and buying. Stocks, ETFs, mutual funds, etc.

And so will a lot of others as things slow down and the hysteria slows. Including the big funds and you will see massive climbs.
These doomsday economic people are quickly forgetting 2008 kicked off the longest bull market in history.
Naturally, even without Corona, probably thought that was going to continue.
Let's not forget, there was a huge camp of "correction" economists out there before Corona showed its dick.

Louisiana "locked down" 11 days into this earlier than Italy did. Italy already had 463 deaths when they did. Louisiana had 20.

The auto industry can handle a couple of weeks.
You act like they haven't run the numbers before ordering these shut downs.
“There’s no bad guy here. This is unchartered territory for all of us,” said Bruce Baumhower, president of UAW Local 12 in Toledo, Ohio, which represents workers at a plant producing the Jeep Wrangler SUV. “If things deteriorate more over the next two weeks, we’ll just need more time off. We just can’t put our people in that kind of environment. The jobs are tough enough to do and fully concentrate on without worrying about staying alive.”

I'm waiting to pull the trigger. I have some cash on hand that I want to throw in but I still don't think we have seen the bottom of this thing.
